Once you obtain the Key of Admittance, you can proceed to open the locked door. How you'll reach the room will depend on how you were able to access the study room.

If you flew to the balcony to reach the study room without having access to the Headmaster's Office in the first place, fast travel to the Trophy Room Floo Flame. Follow the path leading to the upper levels of the tower. Once you come across a corridor with statues, head right to locate the locked door.

If you already had access to the Headmaster's Office and grabbed the key the regular way, go down from the study room and exit the Headmaster's Office. Head down the spiral staircase and walk towards the end of the corridor with statues to find the locked door.

Once you locate the door, use the Key of Admittance to open it. You will then discover a Hogwarts Secret!
